How do I search a text to find the most frequently used words in that text?

I am trying to identify keywords within a book of the Bible, but I can't figure out how to do such a search. The [count] command is helpful, but it doesn't really do what I want.

I'd like to know if there is a way to do this kind of search in Accordance.

 

For what it is worth, I searched with Chat GPT and got the following results. I know Chat GPT can make mistakes, and I have already noted some, so I would like to do this kind of search myself within Accordance.
